No more training wheels!!!





Coen is a big boy now!!! He can ride his bike without training wheels. We have been trying to convince him for a while to take them off and he refused until the other day when Brent took Coen to the motorcycle store to look at motorcycles and Coen said that he wanted a motorcycle. Brent told him that it would be a while before that would happen and besides, he had to ride his bike without training wheels before anything could happen. All that Coen needed was a little bit of motivation and as soon as they came home, the training wheels came off and he was riding on his own. He only had one little fall and he still needs a little help to get started but he is doing great. Atlas and I had fun watching brent run beside the bike. Everytime Coen would ride by Atlas would clap unless he was distracted by an airplane flying by, in which case he would be pointing up at the sky saying,"airplane" and grinning from ear to ear. We are so proud of Coen and his achievements.

Way to go Coen! It goes to show you what a little motivation can do.

Luke needs some motivation as well. Maybe we should try that with him or maybe he just needs to see Coen riding his bike!

How awesome! That is such a huge deal. I still remember the day I learned to ride a "two wheeler". Way to go, Coen!
